A. The advantages of having a staged procedure include apparently lower stress level for the cardiovascular system, fewer complications related to the heart, a lower incidence of blood clots within the deep veins, as well as a lower possibility of requiring banked blood after surgery. This is an excellent choice for patients with cardiac, vascular or pulmonary diseases or above 80 years old.
